2011 Map of Stampede Pass

About this map

Keechelus Lake and the engineering of the Keechelus Dam dominate this mountain landscape, which serves as a critical corridor for transportation across the Cascades. The map highlights the deep-rooted infrastructure of the region, specifically the Stampede Tunnel and the historical rail alignment now designated as the Iron Horse Trl. Small settlements and seasonal hubs like Whittier, Martin, and Stampede are shown alongside recreation points such as the Kachess Resort and Crystal Springs Campground. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and narrow drainage basins, with the Yakima River flowing southeast from the dam. The presence of the Lake Keechelus Snowshed Tunnel underscores the challenges of maintaining transit routes through this high-altitude pass during the winter months.
